Alice Lake

Stars

Alice Lake was a film actress whose work in dramatic and comedic roles in silent films reportedly earned her $1,200 a week — a hefty sum by the day's standards — during the heyday of her career.

Lake costarred with some of the biggest celebrities of the day, appearing opposite Rudolph Valentino in "Uncharted Seas"; Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle in "Oh Doctor!" and "The Cook"; and Bert Lytell in "Blackie's Redemption" and "The Lion's Den." She also appeared on Broadway in "Erstwhile Susan" and other productions.

She married actor Robert Williams in 1924 after a whirlwind romance during which, The Times reported after news broke of the couple's engagement, she nursed him through a serious illness. The couple later divorced.

Lake's Hollywood career ended in the 1930s, and she died in 1967 at age 71 of an apparent heart attack at the Paradise Sanitarium rest home in Hollywood.

One thought about Alice Lake

“

If, for a moment in the world of fantasy,she was considered notable enough for a star why not explain this to flesh out the history of this fantasy for generations unaware of her contributions? Or should a program begin of ripping up sidewalks to make room for comparable "stars"?
